Support is also building in Britain. The TUC Joint Consultative Committee, which coordinates County Associations of TUCs has overwhelmingly backed the marches, as has the Socialist Campaign Group of MPs and the AGM of the Socialist Campaign Group Supporters Network. The next stages in Britain are: • to produce high quality publicity to help build support and raise money towards the estimated £60,000 ($90,000) needed to build the march. • to produce 4 or 5 issues of a march paper in the lead up to and during the marches • to mobilise 50 march volunteers for the European launch rally on February 1st/2nd • to organise a national meeting in Sheffield on January 18 • to set up regional committees. • Glen Voris, St Helens TUC Resource Centre, 21-31 Barrow St Helens WA10 1RX. © 01744 755889 Еж: <101326.41@compuserve.com> Euromarch information is also on the Web at http://www.gn.apc.org/labournet/ British sponsors include: Unemployment Organisations and Campaigns: National Unemployed Centres Combine, Welsh TUC Unemployed Centres, Bolton Unemployed workers Centre, Bury Unemployed Workers Centre, North East Unemployed Action Group, London Campaign against the Job Seekers Allowance, St Helens TUC Resource Centre, Salford Unemployed Workers Centre, Welfare State Network.
